511217 - File is getting overwritten with mobwrite contents

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Skywriter Graveyard :: Collaboration, defect, P1)

Description

[Kevin Dangoor]

When I loaded up Bespin, I was in Joe's shared example document on 
bespin.mozilla.com. I tried to switch to another file (uvc/README.txt), and the 
contents displayed were the collab contents that I had been viewing previously. 
I switched to one of the .py files in that directory and they loaded just fine. 
Going back to the README file, I again saw the contents of the example file.

I don't see a mobwrite directory for uvc:
/bespinfiles/fsroot/c/4/1/3/c41330a5-bb0d-42d4-a806-233bbf4f519f

"vcs status" confirmed that the README file had changed.
"vcs revert" put the file back, but loading the README file *still* continued 
to show the collab contents, rather than the example file.

This is using the collab code from the 0.4.1 tag.

It is possible that this was fixed in the process of other changes that Joe 
made. I have not been able to reproduce this today.

i'm fairly sure this had nothing to do with collaboration - the problem was that we were saving the files contents if they were dirty, but saving them to the new file location rather than the old one.
